SAM Sites in Terrains

[Guest pfunkmusik]

I cannot get SAM sites to show up in target areas on the Black Sea map.

 

What does the target area need to look like to get it to show up?

Here's a nice one... mind you, it uses some items you may not have (but are in several other of my terrains mod -- in particular the AAA single gun bunker and quonset hut.) It's from the uncompleted new Korea map:

 

Please note that this calls out SPECFIC SAM launchers and thier associated radars

note the co-locating of the AAA guns and their 'bunkers'

Here's the odd thing. I can get the SAM sites to show up if the terrain is in WOI, but not WOE...wierd.

Now, that IS freeking weird!! The above layout is taken FROM the Korea map, IN WoE

 

You sure you got all the items listed in the _types ini, and the numbering correct and sequential in the _targets.ini???

Well, hell....lemme go over it again...

 

Question. Will the game get confused if you call out for a generic SAMRadar and it has more than one to choose from?

Yes, the Game Engine ™ gets confused some times. On the DBS rebuild, I'd have SA-2s on a site, with a StraightFlush or SpoonRest for the tracking/acquisition radar. Or any combination thereof. Which is why I dislike the 'generic' tags for SAM sites.

 

It didn't, however, stop the Guidelines from shooting at me!! Now, they may have been "picking up" their data from another SA-2 site, that HAD a FanSong sitting on it. All my Red SAMs are networked, but to each type only (SquarePair to SA-5, etc)

 

Remember, too the Engine won't populate a target site, expecially with GroundObjects, beyond an appox 30-50 km radius from the player aircraft.
